Email from Bekah wekah

Bek wanted me to get all of you up to date on where she is at, what she is doing, how the team is. This is a bit of what she sent in an email. She seems to be doing great, loving where she is at, yet always willing to learn and allowing God to change her. Please continue to pray for her and the team...

Beks email:
This week my team spent three days working in the hospital. I spent a couple days working in the maternity "ward". THe babies are so small. 3 kilos is a big one. Hannah and I did it together, washing babies, weighing them, holding them...wow. It really got me thinking about longterm plans. I know how I want to be a nurse, labor and delivery, and I feel a called to Africa. My heart really is here. I see all the things that could be changed and the things I could learn from them but most of all the need for proper care. They are so shorthanded. One of the days I was in the Lab working with blood tests and such. One lady, all by herself. She asked me if I would draw the blood for her...feeling a little untrained I turned down the opportunity, but that is just an example of how big the need is for workers and willing hearts. All I can do is trust God that He will open the right doors and I will follow where He leads.

The other couple days we went to schools and did assemblies (skits, songs...). The people, oh the people. They take such good care of us, so hospitable.

I am really feeling challenged. I see where I am weak and what I need to change. each day is full of new suprises and experiences.
